Cameron Mountain Road to NC 16 overpass, westbound
March 31, 2026. This is the second of two back-to-back hikes at the end of March, and Tah-DAH! this completes Segment 5. This hike was 9.5 miles.
After dropping me off on Cameron Mountain Road, the husband-shuttle drove up to a Blue Ridge Parkway overlook to do some birding.
At 7am, he got the sunrise, but it was still fairly dark in the forest where I was.
This was a fairly straight-forward hike, without any particular difficulty.
The route included some short stretches on the Blue Ridge Parkway and several crossings.
Nothing too exciting today, except for the fact that I was COMPLETING SEGMENT 5!!!
Have I mentioned that this COMPLETES SEGMENT 5???
“Clingman’s Dome” has been renamed “Kuwohi.”
I actually have less than 200 miles left to complete the MST, now that I have COMPLETED SEGMENT 5!!!
